(1)      Note: Because of the loss from continuing operations for the six months
         ended June 30, 2001, diluted earnings per share for the period does not
         include the incremental shares from the assumed conversion of stock
         options granted. The common share equivalents applicable to potentially
         dilutive stock options outstanding were 71 for the six months ended
         June 30, 2001.
